ok, so you guys know that I just changed jobs.It looks like the new place is a little more conservative about nail colours.They're not very strict but as part of the job scope, I will be meeting with quite a lot of people in the community including employers, school authorities, volunteers, vendors, etc etcso while nail colours like sheers, reds, pinks, purples, browns are going to be okfunkier colours like green, blue, black are going to have to be relegated to holidays and weekends k

erm... unfortunately, this also means the monday tutorials are going to be less funky as well

Also, I suspect that I'll be way busier than I was as a school counsellorso you guys might get to see less nail art and more single polish colour swatchesThe nail art might also get less complicated

I'll try to work around and see what I can doso in the meantime, pls bear with me during this adjustment period k

I go this one in my Christmas axchange from Polish Pigand I understand that Depend is a low cost Swedish brand.I must say I'm pretty impressed by it.For a low-cost polish, the quality is anything but low.The formula is rather smooth and my pedi was opaque in 2 coats.The brush itself is pretty easy to use although I suspect some may have issues with it since it is a little short (but not as bad as the WnW Craze bottles)

I don't know yet if I will end up with smurf toesbut hey, I don't really mind that when the colour is this pretty and glowy =)now I can't wait to try to other orange one!

So the disaster nails didn't last for 24 hours.Just couldn't take it anymore and I had to remove it.Unfortunately, I didn't have the time for nail artso instead, I slopped on a quick dry polishand made do with it for a while.

Maybelline Matte Grape

Sad to say, we hardly get Maybellines around in Singapore anymoreeven though its a wonderful drugstore brand that's widely and easily available elsewhereso I really treasure whatever Maybellines that come my way.

Steph, thanks again for this one =)

Here's the swatch of it.Pls pardon the tipwear. I had it on for more than a dayand matte polishes aren't exactly lasting.
